the downward spiral bids me
walk on me
i keep going through the first wisps of unease and suspicion
onward, onward to distrust and depression
past old wounds of betrayal and
hold no-one’s hand in the fields of resentment and disbelief
feeling the place of Love Gone Wrong
until i am broken,
beaten,
and must admit
that this is the way things really are
without hope of salvation
this is who i really am,
who you really are,
this is the way the world really is,
and no grace from an unrepentant god
can undo the truth
